    wir haben die Route umgekehrt gemacht, weil wir lieber steil aufsteigen statt runter gehen. Das hat sehr gut geklappt.

    It is a long gravel road to the top, in a nice forest with enough shade during the hot Slovenian summer. The top of Javornik has nice views, to whats to come on the via alpina. Markings are good, the trail is quite easy to follow (just go up while staying on the gravel road, until you cannot anymore). The way down isnt that nice, lots of loose rocks, however you get rewarded with a nice little town with an open supermarket (till 19:00 on a weekday mid June '26).

    Das kann ich bestätigen, die Angabe leicht ist nicht korrekt. Die alpinen Passagen sind für Kinder eher ungeeignet und Vorerfahrung ist sehr hilfreich und empfehlenswert. Sehr schöne und abwechslungsreiche Tour.

    From Matavun to Senozece with a detour up Mala Vremsica. Very nice walk, rich with butterflies ! The climb was steep but not long. Nice to take some height compared to previous day. We slept in a hotel in Senozece, nothing remarkable there except that we could pack in some bananas and cash.

    From San Dorligo della Valle to Koca na Kokosi. Nice walk, just very warm and moist especially in the morning. We struggled to find some lunch and had to settle for bad gas station sandwiches which we found at the Slovenia/Italia border. A striking impression from day 2 (which we kept for the rest of our time in Slovenia) is the absence of marking for the Via Alpina. If you don't have the track in your phone, you will very hardly be able to follow any track at all. Appreciated goulash and blueberry cake at the refuge Koca na Kokosi, though they were not open to sleep. They told us it was ok to camp so we spent the night there, freedom camping. We did the part from Kokos to Matavun the next day. Less nice and interesting day of walking (not bad either), but Matavun was really pretty and we had time to visit the Skockjan caves which comes highly recommended. Stayed at the hotel Skrla where we were very well received. Note that my GPS gives over 15 km for both days, and though both days were not hard, they were not short either, especially if you carry a bit of weight. I really recommend having some spare time in Matavun so cutting the day in two was a good decision imo.
